Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.
- Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Maris Sal
- Natural mineral skin conditioner for exfoliation or soothing; high concentrations (>5%) may cause dryness due to osmotic pressure.
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative, conditioner/antistatic; hair/cutaneous use, watch concentration.
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Sodium Anisate
- Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Magnesium Pca
- Magnesium PCA; chelator and humectant with synergistic Mg/PCA action; low irritation, water-soluble.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Fructose
- Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Arginine Pca
- Arginine PCA, small molecule humectant enhancing skin hydration; low sensitization, suitable for sensitive skin, may feel slightly sticky at high levels.
- Sodium Surfactin
- Biogenic surfactant with cleansing, emulsifying, and gel-forming properties.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Dna
- Water-soluble polymer for hydration and film feel; often claimed for repair support
- Potassium Glutathione Isomerized Linoleate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Potassium Chloride
- Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.
